Chapter 2 time guys! Oh and one change I am making…. Iron Man 3 never happened in this fic so Tony still has the arc reactor in his chest. And explanation time. I have had the first two chapters written for about a couple of months now but I started with Winter Hacker and I did want to start two stories at a time. However, I realized that I was being unfair to all of you that wanted to read my fics so I am going to hold off on Winter Hacker for a little bit until I feel like completing the chapter that I started. Now onto Chapter 2!
*Steve POV*
I slowly regained consciousness after the explosion on the floating, well at that time falling, city. I groaned as sat up and quickly grabbed Skye before she fell onto the floor. I looked around to see the others start to wake up as well.
"Jemma is so going to kill me," I heard Bucky groan out, "Again."
As I looked around, I noticed something strange. The walls of this place were really 'old fashion,' like back around my original time. Then I took in the people who had their guns out but lowered, I immediately labelled them as a threat. They too were wearing clothes that would have been back in the forties. Then my eyes land on her. God she hadn't changed a bit. Still short brunette hair with some curl in it, classy outfit as usual, and that same look in her eyes when she looked at me.
I tore my eyes away from hers when Skye jolted awake.
"Steve!" she said loudly.
"Shhh," I said wrapping her into a hug, "I'm here Skye."
"God damn it!" Clint said holding his side which was bleeding.
"Hey!" Tony said while still in his iron man suit, "Remember, Cap doesn't like that kind language."
"Really Tony?" I asked annoyed as Skye pulled back to stand up.
"Yup," he said, "Friday run some scans on where we are and how exactly we got here because last time I checked, we were blowing up a city that was about to crash land onto earth."
"Can somebody wake up Thor?" Clint complained, "He is on my leg."
"Got it," Skye said as she held out her hand and making Thor's armor shake.
"Ah!" Thor said as he jumped up in the air looking for Mjolnir which Vision held out for him.
We all still stared wide-eyed at Vision for the fact that he could pick up Thor's hammer.
"Sir," Friday interrupted, "It appears that you are in New York City."
"Friday run that test again," Tony said looking out the window, "Definitely not New York."
"Tony," I spoke up, "I would change that test to when."
"And why is that gramps," Tony said finally stepping out of his suit making some people in the crowd's jaws to drop to the floor, "Think you finally learned more about tech than me?"
I glared at him and pointed to Peggy, "No, because that is Peggy Carter."
Everyone looked to where the Peggy was standing as she looked uncomfortable at everyone staring at her.
"Peggy!" Bucky said making his way over to her and smothering her in a hug, "It has literally been way too long."
Peggy, not recognizing him, immediately grabbed Bucky's wrist and flipped him over but he predicted it coming and landed on his feet again.
"Nice try doll but I got some moves now," Bucky said striding back over to our group, "You know 70 years as an assassin will do that to you."
"Bucky!" I hissed at him.
"Bucky?" Peggy asked confused, "How are you alive? You fell off a cliff!"
"Eh some Hydra experimenting here, a little there," he said pointing to his arm, "Some compliance mixed in with memory wipe, and bam! Their perfect soldier."
"Hydra!" Peggy asked alarmed as she and everyone else raised their guns at Bucky.
I stepped in between her and Bucky as Skye raised her hand and disassembled the guns.
"My friend would really appreciate it if you wouldn't kill her boyfriend," she said lowering her hand.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Skye when their guns fell apart and onto the ground.
"Steve what is going on here?" Peggy asked confused, "You went down in the plane and we couldn't find you! How are you here now and who are these people?!"
"I will explain once everyone is settled down," I said looking around, "Let's go talk in there."
Everyone looked to the conference room I pointed to. All the Avengers headed there first followed by the Peggy's co-workers. Each group crowded around the conference table on separate sides with Peggy and I each facing each other at the heads of the table. As Natasha patched up Clint, I looked at the Avengers for approval to tell these people our story to which everyone nodded.
I stood up and started, "This might come as a shock but we come from the year 2015 and lets just say the world has changed a lot."
"2015?" an agent sitting next to Peggy asked, "That's about seventyish years from now."
"Well Agent Thompson," Peggy sighed looking over at the agent, "It's a good thing that the knockout I gave you didn't interfere with your math skills."
Tony started chuckling, "I like her Cap."
"And you are?" Agent Thompson asked.
"Genius, billionaire, former playboy, philanthropist, Tony Stark at your service," Tony said smiling at the agents.
Many agents' faces turned surprised while others turned into pure anger and some, like Peggy, rolled their eyes.
"Of course Stark reproduced," Agent Thompson said holding his head in his hands, "Sousa, get Stark on the phone and tell him to get down here."
Tony's smile dropped off his face, "Wait you are calling my dad?"
"Yea," Thompson replied back like it was a stupid question, "We need someone who can have an idea on what happened here and why you were traveled back from the future."
Tony leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms, "Fine but keep him away from me for now."
Peggy quickly changed the conversation, "So who are the rest of these people?"
"We are the Avengers," I stated looking around at my team.
"The Avengers?" one agents asked.
"Earth's mightiest heroes," Tony stated like it was a known fact, "Let's do a role call shall we."
"First up we have our two SHIELD assassins, Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow and Clint Barton aka Hawkeye. I would suggest never getting into a fight with them."
"Yea remember that sparing match where Natasha completely took you down in your iron man suit?" Clint asked laughing.
"If I remember correctly I took you both down within five minutes," Natasha retorted back, effectively shutting up Clint.
"Assassins?" Agent Sousa asked when he returned.
"Yea I first trained in a circus and then became a SHIELD agent with my specialty as a sniper," Clint said, "Well, a bow and arrow sniper."
"Yea never misses a shot," Natasha said smirking, "I am more hand-to-hand combat trained. No thanks to the red room."
Immediately I saw Peggy and other agents tense, "The red room? In Russia?"
"I really don't want to talk about my time there," Natasha said looking away and sliding closer to Banner.
Tony cleared his throat and continued on, "Here we have Dr. Banner. Brilliant mind as long as he is in this form so don't make him angry."
"What will hap-"
"Just don't ask," Dr. Banner said seriously, "You really don't want to know what I can do unless it is absolutely necessary. Last time someone made me mad I destroyed half of Harlem."
The agents just nodded slowly and moved their attention on to the next person in line.
"This is Thor," Tony said clapping Thor on the back, "Our resident god."
"God?" the man Peggy said was agent Thompson asked.
"From what I have read I was apparently a god to some mortals, called Vikings?" Thor asked the last part looking towards Tony for confirmation. "I mean we did come and fight a few wars here, but gods, no. We just have a longer life span."
"Yeah of thousands of years," Tony said, "Anyway, this is little witchy here."
"Scarlet Witch," Wanda corrected
"I like Little Witch better," Tony said smugly.
"And over here we have yours truly, Captain America, First Avenger, blah blah blah, but you already know him."
"Then we have little miss thinks she can beat me at hacking but can't."
"Tony," Skye said annoyed, "Do I have to bring up a few weeks ago?"
"Just kidding!" Tony says quickly, "Yeah but this is Skye, rookie Avenger, former SHIELD agent, and current girl of Ca-"
I quickly cleared my throat at Tony to warn him against saying anything about me and Skye. He glanced at me before nodding slightly.
"Current girl of the powers of Inhumans."
"Tony, I'm not the only Inhuman."
"What are Inhumans?" agent Sousa asked
"They are people that have different DNA that is activated by an interesting process that requires a lot of detail I do not wish to get into right now," Skye said.
"It was started by people not of this earth, the Krees." Thor continued for Skye.
"Krees? Not of this world? I need some explanation here." Thompson said looking between the two groups.
"There are nine realms in this universe," Thor said explaining, "Stark, shall you pull up that map I should you?"
"Friday," Tony said looking at his suit, "Bring up the Point Break map."
The raised its arm making all of the agents with Peggy back up. The suit projected a map of the universe into the air above the table. At that moment, Howard Stark walked into the room.
"What was I call-" he stopped his sentence short as he looked at the holographic image, "What in the world?"
I glanced at Tony who recognized him immediately and his face hardened.
"Stark you were called here because it turns out that-" agent Thompson starts before I interrupt.
"That I am back," I state standing up to face my old friend.
"I searched everywhere for you!" Howard said coming up to me and gripping me into a tight hug, "And what is this?"
Stark pointed to the holograph of the universe.
"I was about ready to explain before I was so rudely interrupted," Tony said, voice like ice.
"Who forgot to put the sugar in your coffee this morning?" Stark asked sarcastically before taking a seat near Peggy.
"As I was saying, these are the nine realms," Thor said drawing lines into the holographic image.
"Earth is here," Thor continued pointing to what was clearly earth then moving to another area, "And I am from here, Asgard, defender and peacekeepers of the nine realms. I have chosen Earth to protect myself."
"Not because of his girl or anything," I heard Clint mumble which was followed by a pained cry of most likely Natasha hitting Clint upside the head.
"You are not alone in the universe, blah blah blah, they get it Point Break, I think that's enough education for one day except for one thing, how did we get here?" Tony asks.
When no one looked like they were going to answer Tony turned to the suit, "Friday look back for anything that can be useful and if you can find JAR- J's programing, that would be great," Tony said making sure to not say Jarvis's name.
"Right away sir," the robotic voice replied making all of the people from the forties jump back besides Stark who jumped forward.
"What was that?!" he asked excitedly.
"My AI," Tony replied, "Friday."
"An AI?!" Stark ran over to the suit and started to inspect it.
"Sir," Friday spoke up, "Data complete."
"Lay it on me," tony said leaning back, "How bad is it."
"I found traces of a substance that is not known on earth but matches closely to Vision," Friday replied making us all turn to the stone on his forehead.
Hoped you all enjoyed!
